STORY
Fred has gone missing! It’s up to Shaggy, Velma, and Daphne to enter his home and try to find him! But once they enter, they learn Fred has been kidnapped by a mysterious person named “Simon”.
The game was originally created in Russian, and translated to English over time. This means that the most recent release of the game is filled with bad grammar and misspellings. For example, Daphne’s name is spelled “Dafna”.
It feels like the writer only included Scooby Doo characters for easy publicity. There are only a few references to the original show and the characters act a bit out of the ordinary. For example, Shaggy is the intelligent and lustful protagonist who solves every puzzle. That’s pretty much the opposite of his dumb and chill counterpart in the real show.
Even the general dialogue in this game is painfully mediocre. Both girls act so similar, they may as well be the same character. Scooby Doo barely appears at all, with most of the emphasis on Shaggy. Nobody likes Shaggy! Because of the focus on puzzles instead of a mystery, this entire story feels like it doesn’t fit with the Scooby Doo cast of characters.
GAMEPLAY
As a visual novel game made with Renpy, players have access to most standard Renpy features. Press CTRL to skip dialogue. Click screen to progress. Press A to customize font size and other features.
The entirety of the game involves walking around the mansion to pick up objects or solve puzzles. It’s mainly a point and click adventure, but the clicking is broken up by random mini-games. Whether it’s a puzzle of rotating images, or pressing spacebar in a timed challenge, every puzzle is very easy. The only problem is that the player is given no instructions on how to complete the puzzles, which can lead you to getting stuck.
While the early parts of the game are masterfully made, the later parts are complete garbage. Without any hint given, players are supposed to enter every room in the house and click every single lamp they can find.
GRAPHICS
The art assets include completely original 2D CGs and animations of the Scooby Doo characters. The animations are low quality, but still erotic and very enjoyable to watch.
Character faces are never very expressive. Even during scenes like Daphne’s handjob, she has a completely blank-faced stare as she strokes the cock. Dialogue indicates she’s turned on, but her face looks completely bored!
Every day that passes, the gang is given new oufits to wear. They wear default outfits on the first day, tight spandex on the second day, and transparent maid aprons on the third day. This is a cool feature.
Character sprites are very basic, with only a handful of variations. Shaggy’s forearms are enormous, and Velma has very broad shoulders. All these artworks are nice, but they’re very simplistic.
VOICE ACTING AND SOUND EFFECTS (SFX)
Scooby Doo Dark Forest Stories has no voice acting or sound effects.
MUSIC
Outside of the title track, the entirety of the game relies on a cover of the Scooby Doo theme song. This single track somewhat makes up for the lack of sound effects in this game. Problem is, there’s only one single instrument! Somebody played the guitar to the notes of the Scooby Doo Theme Song. Even during sex scenes, this single track plays. No matter how good the track is, the sheer lack of effort is obvious. A single song cannot carry a game!
HENTAI
Scooby Doo Dark Forest Stories has 10 erotic scenes. Two of these scenes are simply peeping on someone.
Although there is one lesbian scene, the main focus of the game is on Shaggy having sex with Velma and Daphne. Whether its Velma giving a blowjob or Daphne pleasuring herself in front of him, Shaggy is getting laid!
The erotic dialogue is usually very forced and hard to believe. There was no build-up to the Velma blowjob scene, she just randomly dropped to her knees to suck cock.
The animations are glorious! They aren’t very fluid, but I still enjoyed them! To watch Daphne shake her hips and bounce on cock is a glorious sight! The Scooby Doo porn community is usually ignored, so Daphne animations are scarce. Even if the animations need improvement, I’m glad to have more Scooby Doo smut available!
CONCLUDING WORDS
Scooby Doo Dark Forest Stories is a free cartoon parody porn game of okay quality. The puzzles are simple and the story simpler. The gameplay is flawed in the current build, and the sex scenes can easily be improved. This game is made for Scooby Doo fans who really, really have a boner for Velma and Daphne getting their holes stuffed.
